Things To Consider When Creating An Audio Production Sound Pack

By Virginia Wagner


As the demand for sound in every production has been rising, there is also an increase in the demand for talented individuals who can work with different music production in the entertainment industry. Before music can be used, it has to undergo several detailing. Not all people have the talent in doing this, and not all know how this is done. It might not be easily understood by many, but audio production is a complicated job to start with. Today, a lot are experiencing copyright problems due to the lack of original content. However, there are starting talents that have considered creating an audio production sound pack on their respective homes.

Sound packs are also termed as sample packs which are a collection of hundreds of sounds that are designed to cater to the needs of every production. These allowed many individuals to, at least, give it a try. Although there are websites where you can easily access and download these packs, people who are music enthusiasts have tried to do it on their own.

When you intend to do it, make sure you have the determination to understand both the creative and technical aspects. There are factors to consider aside from combining all the sounds you intend and create a better one. Sometimes, being creative has to do with originality, the styles and sound designing, instrumentation and how you combine everything through technical aspects.

Today, copyright has been among the problems that most people face. It is best to give importance to the originality. Being original will not only save you from any copyright infringement situation, but it might also lead to possible clients. You have to create something that is not yet generally used and heard by the majority of the people. This will allow you to create your own identity and trademark.

Next is the instrumentation, and before you decide whether you will make a sound pack that will consist of the bass pack, drums or classical, you must know your genre first. Before you decide on this matter, you have to make sure you know your strength and your limitations. It is always important to identify this because it will always serve as your strength and it could be your greatest advantage.

Know your styles and genre as this determines your familiarity. Settling on a specific genre will help you prioritize what your sounds will be. You need to make sure you are familiar with it to be familiar with what you are working on. Sometimes, people do not consider this as highly important, yet this will set as a guide on what you are trying to produce. Making your own concept and theme is also applicable, as this will enhance your creativity and could attract possible producers.

When trying to create sound packs on your own, consider your materials first. Budget, especially for starting talents, is very significant. Some start without the proper resources, and that is fine. Not all are provided with the right and high end materials, but if you have the resourcefulness, you will get into where you aim to be. Creativity will enhance everything, and you need to further develop it through post production manipulation.

The technical part is also important, and you have to play with your creative mind just to come up with something unique and uncommon among many. Take note of the number of sounds each pack must have. The standard set for smaller packs would usually go up to one hundred samples or less. While if you aim for bigger packs, it could reach up to a thousand samples.

When aiming for a higher platform to upload your packs, you first need to determine it to yourself that your creativity will reach to certain producers around the world. You must consider your target for you to determine the reach. Starting is always the most difficult part and when you get through, eventually, you will gain potential producers that could support you on your next projects.
